Nine years ago on the first day of spring, my best friend and me got into the rumble seat of Dad’s 1931 Model A Roadster and drove over to the Staten Island Ferry. Captain Arnold married us en route to Manhattan on the Barbieri boat, then we stopped downtown for espresso and pastries and then to midtown for slices at Mariella’s Pizza before heading over to JFK for Rome.

And in that nine years we have laughed, moved house, raised kids, changed cities- and countries, built and supported one another and always, always walked onward hand in hand.

Funny to think that last year at this time we were traveling from Adelaide to Perth for multi city road show presentations with AWS and this year we are here in Sydney building and doing more. Grateful for every day together. Which all of course started with a typo and our shared desire to solve problems.
